Success Habits for Sustainable Growth and Returns:

It is possible to achieve sustainable growth in revenue, market share and thought leadership. A limited set of "highly effective habits" are key:
  • Translate the founding team's vision and genius into powerful corporate DNA.
  • Create and deliver a transformative value proposition and experience.
  • Focus on a high growth market segment.
  • Secure deep relationships with marquee or high volume customers.
  • Leverage a "big brother" alliance to gain access to a new market.
  • Build a high performing leadership team.
  • Get the right expertise on the board.

A sustainable business model, including better than average returns, can be realized by activating and unleashing the creative potential of employees, partners and suppliers. A few fundamentals make this possible:
  • Create an offering that adds to the well being of life.
  • Be preoccupied with value innovation.
  • Design organizations and create deals based on exchanges of real benefit.
  • Make sure the right people are in the right roles.
  • Get great results by setting the right context instead of trying to control people.
  • Strive for highly aligned and loosely coupled processes and organizations.
  • Evolve products, organization and people over time.

Rock Climbers
Having an effective mentor increases the chances of realizing any or all of the above. If a trustworthy mentor is hard to find, an ongoing peer support group can provide a "mentoring function". However, what that group focuses on, and how they help is crucial. For example, a group that merely shares opinions adds limited value, and can even lead one another astray.


It's easy to describe what's important. Execution is another matter.
